Interesting updates, would prefer they fixed auto headlights and lane keep/auto cruise before pissing around with virtual tracks.... Remote park and summon could be super cool for getting it out (and in) to tight spots. Especially my garage, oh wait, that's underground with no mobile signal. Frankly getting auto park to work as it should now would be good. Assume automated driving for motorway exit/entry etc is only China? One assume the Geely data will be gathered/used from all as opposed to just Eletre. @Bibs any news on when this might come to UK and anyone wanted for Beta testing (am in!)

So R is about as big a hit on range as we suspected. Approx 30% less range than S/Base on 22s based on figures above. I drive in Individual generally: Suspension: Tour, Power: Tour, Steering: Sport, Brakes: Sport

I have a yellow one for mine. Excellent!

Brilliant result - Apple car play/Google maps didn’t seem to do turn on HUD which was annoying but may be next update. Lotus wanted to replace my loom for indicators issue but I think I will see how it goes as better than it was. Phantom loss of right turn indication is less that it was and the deafening first ‘tick’ appears to have gone in x over w.

I have to say - the anger at cameras is unusual. I was very sceptical at first but they are far, far better than mirrors. Greater field of vision, at night they are very significantly better at allowing you to see what’s behind as they reduce glare and give you the image as opposed to reflecting headlight into your eyes. They have greater vision when reversing and image changes instantly for kerb view as opposed to waiting for motors to mechanically move. Less wind noise, better aero. They don’t get dirty like a regular mirror in wet/winter conditions. I now get into other cars and go - this isn’t as good. Same as Ferrari steering wheel - stalks and controls which aren’t on steering wheel are awful after you have them all ‘under your thumb’ as it were.

I don’t think park assist has a ‘summon’ feature yet and frankly neither of the packs are worth it as they simply don’t work yet 🙂 Cruise makes you travel sick and auto park I have got to work once in an empty car park but never since.

Yes 256 fully charged is now regular and 220 ish actual driving range. Running almost exactly 2 miles per KW across entire ownership which is probably a more relevant metric?

I find polarised sunglasses make it go bonkers as it can’t ‘see’ your eyes I suspect? It’s awful and should be option to be permanently off?

Pretty terrible. As discussed above - no way to force it to start (Apple style). No Download indicator or marrying up between App and car interfaces. Mine took 5 or 6 attempts between it failing and having to unlock car and then phone alerting to say it was working when patently wasn’t. Had I not been techy I would have given up. As someone who has run tech companies for 20 years it’s rank amateur that Lotus haven’t even got the basics correct. It’s not hard. If there were a few niggles they are forgivable, this is just badly written and tested software I am afraid.

It’s two updates it appears. W was first and X the updated update. It’s in Display, Rear Display in Settings options. I think it locks the whole thing (haven’t been in back yet). After an hour drive all seems well and also stays in remembered Drive mode (currently) as opposed to always being Tour at startup.

Update! Mine updated to 1.4.0x last night (4.8GB so not small) and ran through all menus swiftly but not driven yet. First things to note (apologies if we’re there before and I missed them!): Child lock rear screen option Car view changes on scrolling through menus (tyre pressures appear on vehicle tab for example) CarPlay seems more ‘snappy’ - Tidal now appears not to pause for ages until plays - may just be lucky first go. Indicator tick appears now normal volume. Again, will see when driving! Driving for a couple of hours today so report back. Incidentally, just ticked over 3,000 miles and done precisely 2KW per mile in that time.

Apologies for duplicate post from other thread but thought it might be more relevant here. @Bibs feel free to link or whatever you wish to save duplicate posting? Interestingly have just had email form Louts stating 1.4.0x Mine shows w but has Carplay - will see if OTA updates again.....?! LOTUS HYPER OS 1.4.0x Important bug fix for internet connectivity. Privacy now seems to stay on and remote monitoring possible. Remote diagnostic capability has been further optimized and improved. User experience has been improved when using the indicator and hazard lights. Improved you say? Deafening tick aside? While the vehicle is charging, users can now see real-time power data on the central display. Glad we are fixing the important stuff first..... The Highway Assist function has been optimized to improve lateral control. It's still very beta and not something I felt safe using on A1M in dry and clear. The Highway Assist function has been optimized to improve overtaking performance. Still dangerous. The Lane Keep Assist functions have been optimized to improve the user experience when driving in narrow lanes. The Traffic Sign Information alert volume has been increased. (I wonder if this is where the indicator volume bug comes from?) The Lane Keep Assist and Autonomous Emergency Braking functions are enabled when the Driver Monitoring System detects the driver is unattentive for a sustained period of time. WTF. Important bug fix for the user agreement and privacy settings. Important bug fixes for the infotainment system. To be fair through CarPlay it's a zillion times better. Still lacking Sub Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have been added, using a two-thirds view on the central stack display. Full screen mode will follow in a future software update. Tiny bit flaky but acceptable. Full screen be excellent step.

Might be worth a dealer visit and force a laptop update of latest version perhaps….?

I have used the team at rejectmycar.com and they are super helpful and been great. I can intro if you wish and PM?
